Lianhe Green has been appointed as The European Federation of Financial Analyst Societies’ (EFFAS) partner to help administer the EFFAS Certified ESG Analyst (CESGA) program in mainland China for candidates to become an EFFAS Certified ESG Analyst. As the first internationally recognized ESG certification in Asia, the CESGA programme is a pioneering initiative aimed to provide fund managers, investment analysts and other industry insiders and corporate stakeholders with the necessary training for the efficient Valuation, Measurement and Integration of ESG issues into investment analysis.

CESGA is offered by the EFFAS, a Pan-European group comprising of over 20 member societies representing more than 20,000 investment professionals.

Since the launch of the CESGA programme in 2014, nearly 5,000 professionals from 53 countries have already been accredited with the CESGA designation from EFFAS. Asia Pacific is one of the fastest growing regions for CESGA exam registrations, with more than 1,000 people in Asia (most of them are based in Hong Kong) having been accredited with this designation by 2022.
